Valverde on the line
 |
Alejandro Valverde has taken the third stage of the Vuelta al Pais Vasco right from underneath David Rebellin's nose. The Kelme rider got it by a tyre width on the line, just as third placed Fabian Wegmann (Gerolsteiner) was congratulating his teammate Rebellin on the win. Thus Valverde was awarded the leader's jersey ahead of Rebellin and Igor Astarloa (Saeco), with the top 36 riders sharing the same time.
"It was a very dangerous sprint," said Valverde. "We managed to keep contact after the final climb, and my teammates helped get me in position to win the final sprint. I was in good shape after yesterday (3rd), but I really wanted a win. We've lost three riders in the team, but I know the riders left in the team are particularly motivated."
The third stage from Plencia - Vitoria was run in cold, damp conditions, and after an aggressive start four riders escaped: Eladio Jiménez (iBanesto), Gonzalo Bayarri (Phonak), Luis Pasamontes (Relax-Fuenlabrada) and Dermot Nally (Paternina-Costa Almería). They were chased by Marcelino García (Labarca 2-Café Baqué), who could not close the gap, and spent the first half of the stage in no-man's land.
The four leaders reached a gap of 14 minutes in front of the peloton by kilometre 51, and there it stayed until ONCE at Euskaltel increased the tempo with 120 km to go. However, the four still had 9 minutes at 64 km to go, although that came down rapidly as Fassa Bortolo also got to the front to help the chase. They were all caught by the last passage of the Cat. 3 Alto de Zaldiaran, with Bayarri holding out for the longest.
Euskaltel's Samuel Sanchez was first to the top of the climb, but he could not hold off the peloton either, and was caught with 7 km to go. Saeco moved to the front to try and get Astarloa in a good position for the sprint, and they more or less succeeded, with Astarloa well placed at 1 km to go. However in the finale it was all Gerolsteiner, with Fabian Wegmann and Davide Rebellin leading the sprint. Rebellin was in front and powering to the line but did not have the legs to hold off Valverde, despite Wegmann's slightly premature victory pat.
